Wanted: vim and emacs (org mode) champions

[Edward K. Ream]

Recent discussions about vim and org mode highlight the importance of people who use other editors.

Imo, one of Leo's most important ongoing tasks is to support easy interactions between Leo and other editors.

As I see it, the role of a champion is as follows:

1. To point out where Leo falls short with regard to some other editor.

2. To do easy fixes/experiments regarding proposed improvements.

For example, Terry's recent work with using Leo's bridge inside vim.

Candidates

Obvious candidates are Terry and Kent for vim, and gar for emacs org mode.

Any volunteers?  I promise, this will not be an odious assignment.

I should volunteer for this, for the somewhat rare CRiSP editor I use and have occasionally banged on about here.

To recap: CRiSP is a multiplatform editor with its own C-like macro language and many nice features.

Its default keybindings are like the old BRIEF editor, and these are pretty hardwired to my brain. This is one

reason I stick to CRiSP as my 'main' editor. It's not just a matter of different key-bindings, there are some features which

need a bit of coding (eg. wrt. 'lossage' to get right, and I have not made a concerted effort with this.

CRiSP has a 'server' mode which can be used to open up filies within it; this would be a good area where having a bridge

between the two programs would be useful.

So, I'll volunteer for at least *something* along these lines, if that helps...

    Cheers

Thanks.

I've been thinking that client/server interactions could be an important way to integrate Leo with other editors.

Yes, it helps.  Your first task, should you choose to accept it, will be to open one or more new issues for any features that you would like to see added to Leo.

I enjoy Emacs and Python, and have been meaning to contribute to Leo
for a minute now. It seems like requests about Org mode are pretty
common, and I keep some data in Org mode in a format which would be
better suited to a proper tree editor. Perhaps I'll start
experimenting there.

Thanks for this.  Let us know your progress.
